THE MORE PEOPLE learn about it, the more unpopular and politically toxic Project 2025 has proven to be. This has led the Trump and Vance campaign to attempt to distance itself from the effort. Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller now says he had “zero involvement with Project 2025,” despite appearing in a promotional video. And just today, The Intercept discovered two more conservative groups that have quietly bowed out from the controversial 900-page manifesto — including a national anti-abortion organization.
Miller’s group, America First Legal Foundation, was one of the first organizations to jump ship from the Project 2025 advisory board. Last week, America First Legal asked to be removed from the Project 2025 advisory board webpage. The organization was part of Project 2025 since at least June 2022, when the Heritage Foundation first announced the advisory board’s formation.
America First Legal staff were deeply involved in writing and editing the Project 2025 playbook. Its vice president and general counsel, Gene Hamilton, drafted an entire chapter about the Justice Department, which proposes launching a “campaign” to criminalize mailing abortion pills. In a footnote, Hamilton thanked “the staff at America First Legal Foundation,” who he wrote deserved “special mention for their assistance while juggling other responsibilities.”
Except they are only ‘scurrying away’ as a public position. In private, it’s the exact opposite.
““Remember everyone who died from COVID?” Dans said. “Remember that disastrous pullout in Afghanistan? Even remember what happened on Saturday? All these are products of this deep state, and we need to re-infuse political control over this bureaucracy. And that’s the importance of Project 2025.””

“Remember all the things he did? He didn’t do them! The guy who shot at Trump? Obviously a deep state bureaucrat!”
I really have to wonder how you can hear stuff like that and still think that supporting these people is worth it for whatever political views one might have.
Like, even if you hate abortions from the bottom of your hart, even if you love guns do much that you use them as dildos, how can you see these clowns and think you should give them any responsibility whatsoever?
